I don't see anything wrong with wanting to hear the transition from one variation to the next. This is a very critical timing issue for arrangers. I remember this being an issue with the Korg PA series in the past, and several complaints about it.
So I think it wouldn't hurt to hear that. In the end if one is going to inveset in a purchase as large as the Mediastation I know I'd want to know if the variation transition has no timing issues. That's just me though.
Fran, how's that Mediastation working out for ya.... She keeping your up at nights? Is your G-1000 plotting against it yet
